Very bummed I couldn’t make it out to Columbus, OH for The Arnold Sports Festival this year. These larger events are when you get to watch some great lifting and catch up with athletes and coaches that you don’t get to interact with on a regular basis. PRs are made and stories are shared over beers post competition.

You can then further imagine my disappointment when I learned Lydia Valentin (-75, Spain) was putting up a workshop the very same weekend.

Fortunately, one of my remote athletes Jennifer Hsia went out to attend the fun and sent over a detailed summary of her experience.
